Chapter 146: A Surprise Visitor
Elys and Aleksander sat in their thrones for nearly three hours straight. Aleksander was the one making most of the decisions, some problems being probably as mundane as what Elys had seen from the Northern courts back then.
Occasionally, Elys did get to speak up when things were being directed her way, but mostly, the vampires that came to the palace disregarded her.
’I really need to get their respect,’ she thought to herself.A
To ease her boredom, Elys looked out for any telltale signs of the ladies she had previously talked to last night. They were nowhere in sight, and she had been quite uneasy with the absence of them thereof.
Cordelia was amongst the crowd, and although she was Elys’ most trusted out of all the people inside the room, a maidservant was only allowed to stand several paces away from the throne.
Things would have been a whole lot different if they had been in the North. Cordelia was a proud noble, and she would have been serving Elys as her lady in waiting.
She could sense Elysianne’s unease as her eyes slowly darted from one end of the room to the other. Cordelia knew the young queen was expecting her ladies in waiting, but apparently, none of them have showed up so far.
’If only I can serve her the same way a lady in waiting could,’ the old woman wished fervently. ’Why do we even have to abide with vampire laws and traditions, anyway?’
"What are you thinking?" Henry suddenly spoke beside her.
